Will it go down more? Can you see a difference? I am only one week post op, and I have this unshakable feeling that it will stay like this. I definitely am thankful for what change I do see, but maybe I had unrealistic expectations? It is painful, but I don't know if I am swollen or not? My body feels soft in the areas that were done, not hard. more

TLDR:
Pros:
Great Staff
Awesome results
Easy procedure - mostly painless, and I don't remember much.
Rapid healing - This was the Monday before Thanksgiving, and I had no trouble going to a friends house for the evening. The first few days I was nervous about the incision wounds on my hips, since they are basically open wounds in my skin but they were never painful, and I was able to wash them... more

I am a 46 year old mother and wife, also a classical pianist.
In the past 10 years I had put on about 40 pounds out of which 20 I was loosing just to gain it back.
I saw my photos from my last concert and I could not believe my eyes. That look wasn't pretty> i had double chin and all my rolls of fat were coming out off my beautiful dress.
I had to do something. I tried Hcg shots, adipex... more

My first appointment with Dr. Pratt was in 2011 for a consult/second opinion. Around 2003 I had an unsuccessful procedure for gynecomastia followed a few months later by a Donut Mastopexy (Not done by Dr. Pratt). Unfortunately, the excess chest skin and gynecomastia was very prominent and visually negated the effects of the Donut Mastopexy. Based on the unappealing appearance of the excess... more

With the "change" of life came certain body changes that I just couldn't "embrace". I have been physically fit my entire life. But always had a little belly pooch. But with the "change" my belly had grown into it's own entity. And it wasn't going to budge. I could work out everyday, eat clean, low calorie, low fat (I'm a vegetarian) foods. Didn't matter, it was there and there to stay!! My... more

Although I have a pretty decent body, there were areas that I've never liked and that have gotten worse over the years. Even as a teen ager, I could be described as "all gut and no butt".
Recently, I've hated how I looked in jeans and dresses (muffin top, icky hips) so I decided to dip into my savings for Liposuction I went to Athenix in Bellevue Wa. I started off going there because of a... more

After having lost a significant amount of weight and reaching a plateau that left me with a muffin top, love handles, and lots of saggy skin, I decided to take a different tact to reaching my ultimate goal. I scheduled three consults with three different docs - Dr. G being the first on my list and recommended as a specialist in post weigh-loss surgeries. He immediately put me at ease with... more

I turned 59 and never had a problem with being overweight at all and was starting to get a tummy and some saddlebags on my side. Well I started to lose my confidence! I've always put everybody before myself and this was the first time that I wanted to be a little selfish and do something for just me. I'm so glad I did I feel so much better I've got confidence in myself I'm wearing skinny jeans... more

I've never been overweight or even chubby, but all of my weight gathers in my belly. Nothing I did got rid of it. So, finally, I just got lipo. My procedure was only 3 days ago, so I'm still swollen and bruised, but I'm still very happy with the outcome. There is much more bruising than I expected, but also much less pain, so I've got no complaints. The bruising is much more extensive and... more

I'm a 33 year old male who is 5'8 and is having liposuction of abdomen and flanks. A little background. I've always struggled with my weight. By no means am I obese, just pleasantly plump. I've varied from 180 in high school to 130 in college to 190 in my late 20's. Currently I'm at 155 and have some flab on my stomach and love handles that never goes away no matter my weight. I decided to... more

I am 15 years old and I have always had a problem with having "man boobs". I tried extremely hard to get rid of them and i did football, basketball, and lacrosse but no matter what i tried they just would't go away. I finally got tired of the constant dieting and working out without getting any reduction in my chest. Finally my parents and I did some research and we discovered that I had a... more

When my husband finally agreed to my surgery, I knew that I wanted a highly qualified surgeon that was not only board certified, but that I felt 100% confident putting my life and body in the hands of.
My goal was breast augmentation, and large volume liposuction (4500-5000ccs), however, I got highly discouraged after consulting with 4 other surgeons that told me that I was not a... more

Recently I had liposuction in three areas and I am extremely pleased with the results. I felt comfortable and confident that Dr. Haeck would use his best judgement in helping me achieve the results we discussed pre-op.
The procedure went well, the staff was wonderful and accomodating and the anesthesiologist made me feel very comfortable and relaxed before he administred the anesthesia. more

I had an RF type of laser lipo under my chin almost 2 years ago now. I do not recommend lipo in this area especially if you don't have a lot of fat to begin with. Looking back now I feel so foolish for doing something like this as I didn't need it at all. I wish my dr. was more open with me about possible complications but all he really said was that it's a really simple procedure. I am in my... more

I went to see Dr. Partington for surgery on my platysmal muscle in my neck, and decided to have lipo on my lower stomach. What a DREAM!
The lipo was a last minute addition, and i couldn't be happier. Dr. Partington is a true professional and gentleman. He and his team made me feel comfortable from the start, I can't speak highly enough of him.
I've had two children, and... more

Be aware that liposuction does not replace diet and exercise but can change the distribution of fat on your body. I have never liked the body areas that stayed "fluffy" on me no matter how much I worked out. I have always wanted to have lipo and at 48, I'm not getting any younger!
I had liposuction of six areas (inner and outer thighs, abdomen, flanks, bra roll and knees)... more

I have a large amount of abnormal fat in the back of my thighs. I have lost quite a bit of weight and have not seen any results in that area. I still plan on losing quite a bit more weight- but felt that a little help in that area would make me feel more "normal" and would continue to motivate me through my weight loss journey. more

I am an apple shape and after 35 my belly would not go flat no matter what I did. I also had little flaps of fat under my arms that wouldn't reduce with excersize. My fat was isolated in spots, so I felt I was a good candidate. more

Despite being in shape and working out, could never lose troublesome abdominal fat (i.e. 'love handles'). Finally went the costmetic surgery route and obtained the result I was always looking for. Now my waist is in line with the rest of my body shape. more
